  1. Never heard of any issues with the rear differential.
  2. But it's still an individual thing. What hurts one person is ok for others and vice versa. I did not like the Escape seats either but they didn't actually hurt my back.
  3. I think it takes a couple of days to get through the body shop, paint and final assembly. Most of the time is waiting in the order queue and shipping. If everything goes well with job 1 you'll probably see some show up sometime in December. If there are delays it will probably be January.
  4. Scheduling is when they get the vehicles ready to build. Job 1 is the first production build. Ok to buy comes after 5 consecutive days of error free builds and that's when they start shipping.
  5. You could try this: It wouldn't be a warranty issue.

    No key detected.

    Just replaced my 3.5 yr old fusion battery. My cross traffic and blis sensors went out as it was dying. Low voltage causes all sorts of strange and seemingly unrelated issues.

    Motor overheat

    That's step 1 to allow you to get to a safe place. But beyond that it will actually shut off the vehicle.

    Wow. At least an engine is cheaper than a divorce!

    I thought all Fords had failsafe cooling and would shut down the engine before it got damaged?

    Could be the water pump which is internal.
  11. It's already gone for 2017 - replaced by blue jeans which in itself is a nice color but doesn't change much based on the light.
  12. Known problem. There is a TSB but most say it doesn't work. You're pretty much stuck with the way they work until Ford redesigns it sometime next year (hopefully). There is a person on the f150 forums who 3D printed a part that supposedly works much better but it's expensive and you have to install it yourself or pay somebody.
  13. Stuff breaks. That's why they make warranties. I'm sure you can find a used unit for a reasonable price. Have you tried pulling the fuse for the cd player to reset it? Do you have sync? If so you can rip your cds to a usb drive.
  14. Leave the key in the vehicle. Don't close the door all the way. Turn it off. There is a procedure posted elsewhere on the forum to turn it off with forscan software but it's really not necessary.
  15. You can use Siri for text messages via eyes free now.
  16. Hey now - this is a family site. Watch your language!
  17. Can't you use the old card in the meantime? Or does it get the same sd card fault message?
  18. There is no connection to the broken door latches. The Edge has never had a broken door latch problem like the other vehicles. That's why it's not included in the recalls (yet). Have you tried the DIY fixes that have already been posted? If you have it fixed and save your receipts and Ford later decides to issue a recall you will be reimbursed for the expense.
  19. If you truly think it's a safety issue you should either fix it or stop driving it and convince the NHTSA that it deserves a recall. I suspect what you really want so for Ford to pay for the repair out of warranty and I don't blame you for wanting that. But short of a NHTSA mandate I don't think it will happen.
  20. What I see happening a lot more often is there is a problem with a part that they can't fix easily or quickly so in some cases where a recall is not required they just leave the old part in until it gets redesigned. But if they're going to do that I think they should at least extend the warranty to 100K. The real solution is to do a better job of engineering and testing. I think they cut too many experienced engineers during the economic crisis and they haven't replaced that intellectual property yet.
